  Although this is a safe procedure, not everyone will be advised to undergo gastric sleeve surgery. The requirements for gastric sleeve surgery are just the same as the other bariatric procedures. You must have a body mass index of at least 40. If you have a slightly lower BMI but you have certain health conditions like heart problems and diabetes, you may also be advised to undergo gastric sleeve surgery.
